Скачать или смотреть Kraken: the beast of the deep sea

omething massive is waking up beneath the waves. 🌊🌑

In this episode of Global Folklore, we dive into the chilling history of the Kraken. For centuries, sailors across the North Sea lived in fear of a monster so colossally large it could drag entire galleons into the abyss. But is the Kraken merely a sailor's tall tale, or is it based on a terrifying reality lurking in the twilight zone of our oceans?

From 18th-century maritime maps to the giant squids of the modern day, we explore the origins of the Norse legend that defined "Thalassophobia" (the fear of the ocean).

In this video: ⚓ The Origins: How the legend began in the cold waters of Scandinavia. 🌀 The Whirlpool: The Kraken’s most deadly weapon that wasn't its tentacles. 🦑 Real-Life Giants: How close are modern giant squids to the legendary beast? 🗺️ Ancient Maps: Why "Here be Monsters" was a very real warning.
